1 [Review] Not Just Black and White Katelyn Barney , 2017 single work review
— Appears in: Queensland Review , December vol. 24 no. 2 2017; (p. 324-325)
— Review of Not Just Black and White Lesley Williams , Tammy Williams , 2015 single work biography

'Not Just Black and White is a powerful true story of the lives of two Aboriginal women. Written by a mother and daughter, the book tells an important part of Queensland’s history and was the winner of the prestigious David Unaipon Award in 2014. On reading the book, I was reminded of other Aboriginal women’s life stories, such as Rita Huggins’ and Jackie Huggins’ 1994 narrative Aunty Rita and Ruth Hegarty’s Is That You, Ruthie? in 2003. These narratives also tell of Aboriginal women’s resilience and resistance to colonial oppression in Cherbourg, Queensland, located approximately 250 kilometres north-west of Brisbane.'

1 'Women Singing up Big' : The Growth of Contemporary Music Recordings by Indigenous Australian Women Artists. Katelyn Barney , 2006 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Aboriginal Studies , no. 1 2006; (p. 44-56)

'Since the 1980s, the number of recordings made by Indigenous Australian performers has grown and those by Indigenous Australian women particularly have increased in the last 16 years. While scholars have examined the factors for the increase of recordings made by Indigenous performers generally, critical literature focusing on the continuing growth of recording output by Indigenous women performers is limited. Drawing on two discographies I have compiled of commercial recordings by Indigenous women performers, I examine the possible factors contributing to the growth of recordings by Indigenous women artists since 1990. I also examine some issues regarding gender and music and the social and political contexts relating to the recording output of Indigenous Australian women.'  (Publication abstract)
